As discussed in the above links, boot is broken on imx7 Colibri boards,
this revert was the most quick and straightforward fix we agreed upon
with the hope (~ duty?) it would make it in v6.1. Any chance you could
pick this up rapidly and forward it to Linus? Or should we involve
him directly (Thorsten?).

Thanks,
